Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology South (OAS) was commissioned by Robert Hitchins Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land at Fiddington, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR SO 9198 3268) ahead of proposed development. The work was undertaken between 18th March and 12th April and between 7th and 9th October 2013. A total of 52 trenches were excavated across the site. Two areas with evidence of later prehistoric (probably middle Iron Age) activity were recorded and a third area contained evidence of early Roman activity. In all three cases, small subcircular enclosures, known from geophysical survey, were present. The range of artefacts associated with these features, including pottery, fragments of fired clay from oven structures and animal bone, indicates that they represent the remains of small-scale settlement activity rather than, for example, simple stock enclosures. Previous excavation in the area suggests that such scattered smallscale settlements were characteristic of this area in the later prehistoric and Roman periods. Plough furrows, the remnants of medieval ridge and furrow agriculture, were recorded as geophysical anomalies and remains across the site, with the exception of the low-lying area adjacent to the Tirle Brook. However, no evidence of medieval or later settlement was recorded on the site.
